Is there any provision for viewing the actual journal article without purchasing it? I only see the abstract at the link.

Me too.

I'd be interested to hear the argument. Also, to what extent it from increased seasonality, vs Homo sapiens finally migrating to the parts of the globe where such seasonality occurred?

Still can't seem to get to a download. Can't find a place that lets me do it without some kind of sign in. Am I missing it?

Yeah, I guess my page automatically allows me to download a pdf because I have access through W&M.

Not sure how to get it unless you have access from some institution.

Here is a Link ...


... to a 2022 version of the paper.
